Years After NFT Clash, Logan Paul Sells Pokémon Card For Guinness Record $16.5M
YouTube star Logan Paul has sold a pristine Pikachu Illustrator Pokémon card for a record $16.5 million at auction, confirmed by Guinness World Records as the highest price ever paid for a trading card. The card, one of only 39 made, received a perfect PSA 10 grade. The winning bidder was venture investor A.J. Scaramucci, and the card was presented in a custom diamond necklace at a public event. This sale comes years after Paul faced controversy for attempting to tokenize the same card through fractional NFT ownership, which drew complaints from investors. The record-breaking sale highlights the growing intersection of celebrity influence, collector culture, and high-value auctions in the trading card market.
